Install Blender
1) 00:05 (time stamp in the video)
We start the process by enabling two Chrome Flags in our Chromebook. It is to increase the performance of the application, and you can always revert it back. To do this you open the two links below in Google Chrome.
The first Chrome Flag will enable GPU acceleration for Linux Applications. The second enables Hyper Threading for your CPU (for the whole Chrome OS).
chrome://flags/#crostini-gpu-support
chrome://flags/#scheduler-configuration
2) 00:46 Now we will enable the Linux Container on our Chromebook. You can always remove it again in the future as well if needed.
To enable it, we go to the settings of our Chromebook, inside of it, we click on the "Advance" option in the left panel, and then the "Developers" section. Then enable Linux from there as seen in the video.
3) 01:20
Now we continue to the next phase in the tutorial and that is to run several commands in our Linux terminal, which will install Blender.
Some general facts about the terminal. To paste a command into the Linux terminal, press "Ctrl Shift v" together. After you paste a command into the Linux terminal, please press "enter" to run it. At some commands you will see a question to press Y or n to continue. If you see it press "enter" to continue.
3.1) This command will update the repositories of our Linux container.
sudo apt update
3.2) 02:05 This command will install an application called flatpak, which we will use to install Blender with. The Y and n question will appear in this command, please press "enter" then.
sudo apt install flatpak
3.2) 02:05 This command will install an application called flatpak, which we will use to install Blender with. The Y and n question will appear in this command, please press "enter" then.

3.3) 02:23 This command will add the flathub repository to our Linux container, which we require to install Blender.
sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

a Person needs to press "enter" twice to start the installation process.
